Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 07/15/24 at 6:48 PM, Family Member #1 of Resident #178 said she was on the
phone with Resident #178 when she heard a staff member told her to urinate on herself. Family Member #1
said she called the nursing station to get Resident #178 assistance to the bathroom when staff would not
answer Resident #178's call light. Family Member #1 said Resident #178's roommate heard the staff tell her
to urinate in her brief. Family Member #1 said she took Resident #178 home that night from the facility.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 07/16/24 1:45 PM, Resident #13 said she remembered Resident #178. Resident
#13 said staff always tried to help her, but she refused their help. It depends on which time of day it waws
with the accuracy of how long it would take for someone to come help her. Resident #13 said when
Resident #178 told staff she had to use the bathroom, the staff would take her and she would not be able to
urinate for about 30-45 minutes with staff waiting, so staff told her to go in her brief and they would change
her. Resident #13 said one night Resident #178 called Family Member #1 and she came to get her, then
took her home. Resident #13 said she thought the facility took care of Resident #178 while she was in the
facility, but she was very difficult to take care of.
During an interview on 07/16/24 at 1:59 PM, Family member #2 said Resident #178 called Family Member
#1, because she had called for staff to assist her to the bathroom, but no one came. Family Member #2
said Family Member #1 told her that a staff member told Resident #178 to urinate in her brief. Family
Member #2 stated she assisted Family Member #1 with transferring Resident #178 to the car, to go home.
Family member #2 said Resident #178 cried when she got in the car, because she said the staff member
told her to urinate in her brief.
During an interview on 7/17/24 at 9:06 AM, RN L said he remembered Resident #178 leaving the facility.
RN L said there was nothing the staff or the facility could do was satisfactory to the resident or the family.
RN L said at night Resident #178 was on the call light nonstop, calling for items she could do on her own,
like turn the light on and turn the light off. RN L said Family Member #1 told him she was taking Resident
#178 home, because we could not provide adequate care for her at the facility. RN L said he remembered if
she needed to go to the restroom the staff would take her. RN L said he does not recall telling Resident
#178 to urinate in her brief. RN L said he did remember telling Resident #178 if she did wet her brief, he
would change her brief. RN L said he remembered a couple times taking Resident #178 to the bathroom
and she was very weak, so changing her brief was probably a safety precaution.
During an interview on 7/17/24 at 2:57 PM, the DON said a staff member should never encourage a
resident to urinate in their brief if they were aware of when they need to go to the bathroom. The DON said
if a staff member told a resident to urinate on themselves, that was a dignity issue and potential for skin
breakdown.
During an interview on 7/17/24 at 3:15 PM, ADM said it is not ok for a staff member to tell a resident to
urinate in their brief. We want the residents to stay independent as long as possible. If it were me, I would
feel like they would not want to help me. I feel I am an adult, and it is a huge blow to your dignity, and it
would make me feel like staff did not have time for me.
Record review of a facility resident admission agreement dated 12/1/23 revealed . the facility shall offer
personal care . the facility will also offer nursing care, activities, restorative and rehabilitative services and

During an interview on 07/17/24 at 4:10 p.m., LPN M said the nurses were responsible for obtaining
consent for psychotropic medications. She said consent should be obtained before the medication was
given. She said the power of attorney or resident should give consent for the psychotropic medication,
verbally or in person. She said it was important to get consent for psychotropic medications to make sure
the resident was not allergic to the medication and able to take the medication. She said if consent was not
given, the resident or power of attorney may not be aware of the risk and benefits of the medication.
During an interview on 07/17/24 at 5:07 p.m., the DON said the nurses were responsible for obtaining
consent for psychotropic medications. She said consent should be obtained from the RP. She said consent
should be done on admission and when the medication was ordered. She said the ADON was responsible
for ensuring the nurses obtaining consent for psychotropic medications. She said she did not know the
ADON's process in monitoring psychotropic consents being obtained by the nurses. She said it was
important to obtain consent, so the facility was not medicating a resident without consent. She said it was
important to obtain consent, so the RP and resident knew the risk and benefits and to decide if they want to
take it. She said she did not know why Residents #21, #31, #33, #35, and #69 did not have consent for their
psychotropic medications. She said the ADON was at home with a family situation.
During an interview on 07/17/24 at 6:00 p.m., the ADM said the admitting nurse should get the psychotropic
consents signed by the RP or resident on admission. She said verbal consent could be obtained and
signed eventually when the family visited. She consents should be obtained prior to the medication being
administered. She said getting consent was important so the RP and resident could make an informed
decision and be clear on what the medication was treating. She said the DON should be monitoring
resident's psychotropic consents.
Record review of a facility's Psychotherapeutic Drug Management policy revised 10/24/22, indicated

She said the CNAs were responsible for wiping down the wheelchairs. CNA J entered Resident #31's room
and inspected her wheelchair. She said the wheelchair was dirty, but the CNAs normally cleaned the seat
area not the wheels. She said maintenance would be able to take the wheels off and clean them better than
the CNAs. She said residents should not have dirty wheelchair because of infection control. She said the
dried food could attract pest and the dementia residents could eat the food particle from the wheelchair not
knowing it was dirty. CNA J said she would take the wheelchair out of Resident #31's room so maintenance
could look at it. CNA J left the secured unit to locate the maintenance supervisor.

Record review of Resident #54's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident #54 was
usually understood and sometimes understood others. Resident #54 had a BIMS of 00 which indicated
severe cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident #54 had received an antianxiety and
antidepressant during the last 7 days of the assessment period. The MDS did not indicate Resident #54
had diagnosis including depression.
Residents Affected - Some
Record review of Resident #54's care plan dated 03/14/24, edited on 06/07/24, indicated Resident #54 had
depression as evidence by diagnosis/history of depression and mood disorder, and wandering. Intervention
included administer anti-depressant medication as ordered by MD.
During an interview on 07/17/24 at 3:10 p.m., the MDS coordinator said she was responsible for resident's
MDSs. She said medical records put diagnoses in the electronic computer system. She said active
resident's diagnoses were obtained from physician notes and the diagnoses list. She said some of the
resident's diagnoses may not be added because another staff member in training completed their MDS.
She said RUGS, during their yearly review, recommended MDSs have active diagnoses only which are
obtained from the most recent physician's progress notes. She said the other staff member in training
probably followed those recommendations when she completed Residents #31, #33, and #54's MDS. She
said she did not check over every MDS the staff member in training completed independently to make sure
they were correct. She said all of Resident #31, #33, and #54's mental health diagnoses should be coded
on their MDSs. She said she did check the progress notes for active diagnoses but if the resident was on a
medication to treat a diagnosis not listed, she coded it on the MDS anyway. She said it was important for
MDSs to be accurate so it could be reflected on the resident's care plan.
During an interview on 07/17/24 at 5:07 p.m., the DON said the MDS coordinator was responsible for
coding resident diagnoses. She said resident's psychiatric diagnoses should be coded on their MDSs. She
resident's MDS should reflect the condition of the resident. She said the new company's regional MDS
coordinator was the one who provided oversight and monitored the MDS coordinator. She said inaccurate
MDSs affected the resident's plan of care and the facility's billing.
During an interview on 07/17/24 at 6:00 p.m., the ADM said the RN who reviewed the MDS before
submission was responsible for the MDS accuracy. She said she expected resident's mental illnesses to be
coded on their MDS. She said MDSs should be accurate because it ensured care of the resident and
proper medication and treatment. She said the RN coordinator or MDS coordinator should monitor the
submitted MDSs for accuracy. Requested an accuracy of assessment policy from the ADM.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to develop, and implement a comprehensive care
plan to meet the medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs for 2 of 18 residents (Resident #17 and
Resident #68) reviewed for care plans.
1. The facility failed to implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for Resident #17's
positioning rail.
2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #68 was care planned as smoker.
3. The facility failed to perform quarterly smoking assessments for Resident #68.
4. The facility failed to perform Resident #68's quarterly elopement risk assessments.
These failures could place residents in the facility at an increased risk of a decline in physical or functional
well-being, of not receiving necessary care or services, and having personalized plans developed to
address their needs.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #17's face sheet dated 7/17/24 revealed he was [AGE] years old and admitted
to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #17 had diagnoses of a cerebral infarction (stroke-occurs when there is a
lack of oxygen to the brain and brain cells die), hemiplegia and hemiparesis of left side (muscle weakness
or partial paralysis (not able to move) on one side of the body that affects arms, legs, and/or facial muscles)
following a brain bleed, and weakness.
Record review of Resident #17's annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed he was understood and
understood others. Resident #17 had a BIMS of 14, which indicated he was cognitively intact. The MDS
indicated Resident #17 required total to maximum assistance for most ADLs. The MDS did not indicate the
use of bed rail.
Record review of Resident #17's undated Physician Orders revealed there were no orders for his
positioning rail on his bed.
Record review of Resident #17's undated care plan revealed he had a history of cerebral infarction and was
at risk of complications r/t left sided hemiplegia with goals to maintain or improve current levels of ADLs
and not have another cerebral infarction over the next 90 days. He had pain with interventions to assist with
turning and repositioning to find a comfortable position. He had a history of falls. The care plan did not
address Resident #17's use of a bed rail for positioning.
Record review of Resident #17's therapy screening dated 7/15/24 revealed he was screened for the use of
assist bar and was appropriate for assist bar to left side to facilitate mobility.

turned to the right side during his incontinent care. Resident #17 had a positioning bed rail on his left side
of the bed.
During an interview on 7/17/24 at 1:45 PM, Resident #17 said he wanted a positioning bed rail on his right
side to help with turning himself. Resident #17 said he was not able to use his left arm or leg. Resident #17
said he received his current bed three or four weeks ago and it came with the one positioning bed rail on
his left side. Resident #17 said the bed he had prior to his current one had positioning bed rails on both
sides.
During an interview on 7/17/24 at 1:30 PM, CNA D said she had worked at the facility for five years and
usually worked on the day shift. CNA D said she thought Resident #17 had his positioning bed rails since
he had been in his room for some time.
During an interview on 7/17/24 at 1:54 PM, the Regional Director of Therapy said she had screened
Resident #17 on 7/15/24 because they were a new company for the facility as of 7/1/24 and their policy was
to screen everyone and look at everyone to see if they were appropriate to use positioning rails,
wheelchairs, etc. She said they had already scheduled to come to the facility that week to screen all the
residents. She said she did not know what the previous company's policy was, but they required residents
to be screened for positioning bed rails and to be care planned, and to have an order.
During an interview on 7/17/24 at 1:57 PM, the Director of Therapy said previously, if nursing felt like a
resident needed positioning bed rails, nursing would tell the Maintenance Supervisor and he would install
the positioning bed rails on the bed. She said if therapy felt a resident needed the positioning bed rails,
therapy would tell the nursing staff and the nursing staff would tell the Maintenance Supervision and he
would put them on. She said therapy did not do screenings or evaluate residents for the use of positioning
bed rails.
During an interview on 7/17/24 at 2:05 PM, LVN B said she had worked at the facility for fourteen years.
LVN B said if a resident needed positioning bed rails, they just called the Maintenance Supervisor, and he
would put the positioning bed rails. LVN B said therapy would also tell them if a resident needed positioning
bed rails and then nursing would notify the Maintenance Supervisor and he would install them. LVN B said
they did not put orders in for the positioning bars with the previous company or do consents. LVN B said
she did not know what the new company would require. LVN B said the MDS coordinator was responsible
for doing any care plans and/or changes in the morning meetings. LVN B said the care plan was to go over
expectations for staff to take care of the resident related to all aspects of life. LVN B said positioning bed
rails should be care planned to monitor the resident for safety of the bars to help the resident turn and not
get tangled up in them or anything that would negatively affect the resident. LVN B said she did not know
how long Resident #17 had been using the positioning bed rail, but it had been over a year.
During an interview on 7/17/24 at 2:15 PM, the MDS coordinator said she had worked at the facility for 16
years. She said she was responsible for the admission, quarterly, annual, and significant change MDSs and
implementing/updating the care plans with each MDS schedule. She said she reviewed everything during
the MDS assessment and updated the care plan as indicated and if she was asked to update a care plan
she would, but she was not responsible for the acute care plan changes/updating. She said she believed
nursing was responsible for the acute care plan changes/updates. She said she would update the care plan
to include positioning bed rails and interventions for assessments and monitoring, if she knew a resident
had the positioning bed rails. She said she would have to see

documentation, such as an order, nurse's note, or have someone tell her if a resident had positioning bed
rails to know to update the care plan. She said she did not know Resident #17 had positioning bed rails.
She said the purpose of the care plan was so residents received the care needed and it was a guide to
staff of what care the resident needed. She said the resident should be assessed to ensure they know how
to use the positioning bed rails and were using them appropriately. She said the negative affect to the
resident of not having something care planned would depend on what was not care planned.
During an interview on 7/17/24 02:27 PM, LVN C said the MDS Coordinator, and the RNs were responsible
for updating the care plans. LVN C said as an LVN, she was not allowed to do care plans. LVN C said she
could update orders. LVN C said an order was needed for a resident to have positioning bed rails. LVN C
said if a resident needed positioning bed rails, she would let therapy know and then tell the Maintenance
Supervisor to install them. LVN C said positioning bed rails should be included on the care plan. LVN C said
the purpose of the care plan was to guide the resident's care and if something was not care planned, then
the resident may not receive the care they needed.
During an interview on 7/17/24 at 3:44 PM, the DON said therapy should evaluate the resident to see if
they could use positioning bed rails correctly and the Maintenance Supervisor installed the positioning bed
rails on the resident beds. The DON said the positioning bed rails should be on the care plan to include
assessments and monitoring for safety. The DON said the nurses initiated the base line care plan and the
MDS Coordinator was responsible for the comprehensive care plan and for revising the care plans. The
DON said the nurses and/or herself were responsible for revising the acute care plans with changes. The
DON said the LVNs, and RNs could update/revise the care plans, but mainly the nurse managers did it. The
DON said the positioning bed rails should have an order, consents signed, and be care planned, per their
new company's policy, but she said she did not know what the old company required. The DON said once
they get completely switched over to the new software system, when the nurses did their assessments, the
system would automatically update the care plans. The DON said the purpose of the care plan was so
everyone to be updated and everyone to be on the same page in what care the resident needed or
required. The DON said if the positioning bed rails were not care planned, the rails could serve as a
restraint, or the resident could injure themselves if not being assessed for safety and appropriate use.
During an interview on 7/17/24 at 4:01 PM the ADM said the MDS nurse was responsible for the
development and revising of the care plans. The ADM said the admitting nurse initiated the baseline care
plans and the DON reviewed and signed off on it. The ADM said the DON also signed off on the
comprehensive care plan when it was completed. The ADM said the care plan was the recipe to care for
each resident and should be very specific to that resident on how to care for them and it was the
prescription for the resident's care. The ADM said she would expect the positioning bed rails to be care
planned with interventions to ensure the residents safety. The ADM said if not care planned the resident
may not receive the care they needed.
2. Record review of Resident #68's face sheet dated 07/16/24, indicated Resident #68 was an [AGE]
year-old, female admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (is a general term for loss of
memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with

Resident #68's care plan should have smoking as a care area. She said the MDS coordinator or nurses
were responsible for care planning smoking on resident's care plans. She said when smoking was not care
planned, residents could be injured because they could be not safe smoking. She said when elopement risk
assessments were not done, it placed resident at risk for elopement and being inappropriate placed on the

much fluid should be in the bulb and catheter care each shift or as needed. She said she could not find
Resident #279's catheter orders on the medication administration report.
During an interview on 7/17/24 at 2:37 PM, LVN P said normally the residents came to the facility with a
catheter order on admission and the nurses should know to performed standard care with the catheter. She
said if she could not find the resident's catheter orders she would call the physician to get orders. She said
not performing catheter care could cause the resident discomfort or pain, it could have an effect on their
vital signs and cause sepsis.
During an interview on 7/17/24 at 2:57 PM, the DON said the foley catheter orders should be put in the
system on resident's admission. She said the orders for an indwelling catheter should include a secured to
leg device, check urine in bag and ensure proper placement. She said the order should had the size of the
catheter, the amount of fluid in the bulb and when to change the catheter. The DON said the foley catheter
on admission order was probably missed due to the facility changed to a new charting system and their
nurse has not been trained on the system yet. The DON said the negative effects of catheter orders not
available for nurses could cause urinary tract infections and sepsis for residents with catheters. She said if
the catheter orders were not on the medication administration report it was not monitored. She said if a
nurse could not find the catheter orders they should ask her or a co-worker with point click care knowledge
or notify the physician that foley catheter orders were needed for a resident.
During an interview on 7/17/24 at 3:15 PM, the ADM said there should be an order for an indwelling
catheter. The ADM said when applying a catheter, the nurse should be following the physicians' orders. The
ADM said the nurse should always make sure they have a supporting diagnosis for a catheter, if not call the
physician get an order or to discontinue the order for the foley catheter. The nurse should follow their facility
policy in taking care of a catheter. Our nursing staff had not been taught how to add orders to this new point
click care system. We are in orientation on how to use this system. If Resident #279 had a catheter her
orders should have been put in the system. The ADM said if a foley catheter was not cleaned properly, that
could lead to urinary tract infection or sepsis.
Review of a Catheter- Care of, Urinary Policy dated revised 6/2022 revealed .the purpose of this procedure
is to prevent urinary catheter-associated urinary tract infections while ensuring that residents are not given
indwelling catheters unless medically necessary. Documentation of catheter care will be maintained in the
resident's medical record.
Review of Physician Orders Policy dated revised 6/2020 revealed .This will ensure that all physician orders
are complete and accurate. The Medical Records Department will verify that physician orders are complete,
accurate and clarified as necessary. Orders will include a description complete enough to ensure clarity of
the physician's plan of care. Whenever possible, the Licensed Nurse receiving the order will be responsible
for documenting and implementing the order. Medication/treatment orders will be transcribed onto the
appropriate resident administration record. Documentation pertaining to physician orders will be maintained
in the resident's medical record. Current month's administration records will be maintained in the MAR/TAR.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 07/17/24 at 3:10 p.m., the MDS coordinator said medical records put diagnoses in
the electronic computer system. She said active resident's diagnoses were obtained from physician notes
and the diagnoses list.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 07/17/24 at 4:10 p.m., LPN M said behavior and side effect monitoring was done
every shift by the nurse. She said when the psychotropic medication was ordered, the nurse should also
add behavior and side effect monitoring that correlated with the medication. She said it was important to
assess behaviors and potential side effects to understand why the medication was prescribed and treating
and to know if the medication was helping with the resident's behaviors. She said if the side effect were not
being monitored, side effect to the medication could be missed. She said the orders for behavior and side
effect monitoring noted behaviors and side effects to look for, which helped staff know what side effects and
behaviors to look for. She said she did not know who was responsible for resident's having appropriate
diagnoses for antipsychotic medications.
During an interview on 07/17/24 at 5:07 p.m., the DON said the nurse on admission and/or the nurse who
took the psychotropic medication order was responsible for ordering behavior and side effect monitoring for
each type of medication ordered. She said the ADON and DON should be ensuring psychotropic
medication had side effect and behavior monitoring. She said the ADON reviewed new medication orders
and should at that time ensure monitoring was ordered. She said behavioral monitor let you know if the
medication was effective treating the diagnosis or behavior. She said the behavior monitoring could also
show if the medication was too effective. She said if monitoring was not done, staff did not know if the
medication was helping or not and if the resident was experiencing adverse side effects. She said the MDS
coordinator and nurses were responsible in ensuring residents had an appropriate diagnosis for
medications. She said antipsychotic on Resident #69's order as being the diagnosis, was not an
appropriate diagnosis for Seroquel use. She said the facility should have contacted Resident #69's previous
admitting facility to get appropriate diagnosis for Seroquel and Lorazepam or contact the transferring
hospital. She said the facility could have also contacted her physician about her diagnoses. She said
appropriate diagnoses for psychotropic medications were important to make sure residents were not being
treated with the wrong medication, helped prevent oversedation, and helped them not receive a medication
not needed. She said the ADON reviewed admission orders and should be noticing inappropriate
diagnoses for medication. She said another way to ensure psychotropic medication had an appropriate
diagnosis was the facility should request medical records from the admitting facility on admission to get or
add the appropriate diagnosis from the documentation received.
During an interview on 07/17/24 at 6:00 p.m., the ADM said the DON and ADON should ensure residents
had appropriate diagnoses for psychotropic medications. She said the DON should be monitoring the
process to ensure it was being done. She said appropriate diagnoses were important to ensure the
diagnosis fit the medication ordered. She said there were medications that were approved for off labeled
use so making sure there was an appropriate diagnosis was important. She said the diagnosis needed to fit
what it was manufactured for.

Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition
service.
Based on interview, and record review the facility failed to employ sufficient staff with the appropriate
competencies, skills set and accreditations to carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service
department for 1 of 7 (Dietary Aide A) reviewed for qualified dietary staff.
The facility failed to ensure the DA A met the requirements for food handling by obtaining a food handler's
certificate.
This failure could place residents at risk of not having their nutritional needs met and placing them at risk
for food born illnesses.
Findings:
During an interview and record review on 07/16/24 at 10:11 AM, the DM provided an undated Employee
Demographics list that revealed DA A was hired 11/3/23. She said DA A did not have his food handler's
certificate. She said he should have had it within 2 weeks of hire, but he did not get it. She said she talked
to HR about it and let HR know he had not gotten it after she had reminded him numerous times. She said
it was her responsibility and the responsibility of HR to make sure DA A got his food handler's certificate
within 2 weeks of hire. She said she explained to DA A the importance of him getting the food handler's
certificate and he still did not get it.
During an interview on 07/16/24 at 11:13 AM, the Dietician said DA A did not have his food handler's
certificate. She said if he hired on 11/3/23 he should have had it within 30 days. She said it was the DM's
responsibility to make sure he had gotten it. She said she did not know who was responsible for making
sure the DM had the food handler's certificates for the dietary staff. She said it was important for all staff to
have the food handler's certificates so that they could handle food safely.
During an interview on 07/16/24 at 1:16 PM, HR said the DM told her DA A did not have his food handler's
certificate a week or so ago. She said they talked to the ADM, and they were supposed to get that done but
they did not. She said it was a problem because DA A did not know the proper protocol for food safety. She
said that could affect all residents that ate out of the kitchen.
During an interview on 07/16/24 01:51 PM, the ADM said they did not have a policy regarding Food
Handler's Certificates.
During an interview on 07/16/24 at 4:02 PM, the DON said she was not aware DA A did not have a food
handler certificate. She said if he was working in the kitchen, he should have one. She said it was important
to learn how to handle food, prevent contamination, and food safely. She said that could affect all residents
that ate from the kitchen which was every resident. She said it was the DM and HR's responsibility to make
sure he had proper training.
During an interview on 07/17/24, at 7:28 AM, DA A said he was hired 11/3/23 as a dishwasher. He said he
was supposed to get a food handler's certificate right after he hired. He said he was reminded numerous
times by the DM, but he was busy and never got it done. He showed this surveyor he was watching the
videos now and said he would have it today. DA A said the food handler's certificate was important for food
safety, learning about cross-contamination and keeping all residents safe and

During an interview on 07/17/24 at 7:33 AM, the ADM said DA A was working on getting his food handler's
certificate now. She said she was not sure what the holdup was or why he did not have it. She said it was
the responsibility of the DM to make sure all her staff had training and were certified. The ADM said HR told
her they were pressuring him to get the certificate. She said she oversaw all departments including HR and
Dietary. She said she believed the ball dropped when the prior ADM left 1 week after she started, then the
facility was sold. She said she took over the building on 4/1/24 and the facility was sold 7/1/24. She said
there were too many things happening at once. The ADM said DA A not having his food handler's certificate
could affect every resident in the building in that he would not be aware of food borne pathogens, required
temperatures of food, and how things were reheated or stored. She said there was a potential for illness
with all residents.

residents were offered and received vaccinations. She said the DON should be ensuring the ADON kept an
accurate record of resident's vaccination status and administered vaccinations. She said she was not aware
19 out of 74 residents had not received the influenza and/or pneumonia vaccine. She said vaccination was
important for prevention. She said vaccinations helped prevent the resident from getting sick and reduced
the resident's symptoms if the virus was contracted. She said residents not receiving vaccinations place
residents at risk for contracting the virus and spreading the virus.

He said he fixed wheelchairs when he was notified of an issue. He said once he was notified, he fixed the
issue immediately. He said if a resident's wheelchair brake handle was loose, it placed resident at risks for
falls.
During an interview on 07/17/24 at 4:10 p.m., LPN M said whoever put the resident in their wheelchair
should assess the brakes. She said if a resident stood up and the brake was not working, then the resident
could fall and hurt themselves. She said maintenance was responsible for fixing wheelchairs. She said if
something needed fix, she called maintenance and placed it on the 24-hour report.
During an interview on 07/17/24 at 5:07 p.m., the DON said maintenance was responsible for the upkeep of
resident's wheelchairs, but staff had to inform him of the issue. She said all staff should be inspecting
resident's wheelchair. She said if a resident's wheelchair had a loose brake handle, it was a safety risk, and
the resident could fall and sustain an injury.
During an interview on 07/17/24 at 6:00 p.m., the ADM said the maintenance supervisor was responsible
for wheelchair brakes and parts. She said the ADM was involved in ordering parts for wheelchairs. She said
